The Life Ball in Vienna is the biggest charity event in Europe supporting people with HIV or AIDS. The event is organized by the nonprofit organization AIDS LIFE, which was founded in 1992 by Gery Keszler and Torgom Petrosian. A large number of celebrities came at the Life Ball again this year, including designer Jean Paul Gaultier, Hollywood star Charlize Theron and Mary J. Blige. Vienna’s central City Hall Square was transformed into a mythical world of pagan rites and fantastic spectacle.
